A lady butcher in 1942


Although it’s raining, we are having a bar-b-que tonight.  It’s my parents wedding anniversary so we are having a little get together.  Of course meat is on the menu, including lamb and  sausages from our local butcher.

I love these magazines as they give a great snapshot of 1940s life.  I will be posting more soon!
